Absolutely **fantastic** day away from the Dojo today! ๐Ÿฅณ

All term our students have been working their way through a "Moral Code Challenge" and today 68 of them, from age 5 through 16, took part in their reward event. Outdoor LaserTag & the Assault Course - all completed with smiles, laughs and some excellent teamwork.

Really well done to all of you!

Thanks to @theedgeoutdooractivities for looking after us so well, and to @kokakidsjudobooks for the resources used in the Challenge.

Yesterday we held our Summer Grading, always one of the busiest days of the year. This one was no different, over the course of 3 Sessions, (5&1/2 hrs) we assessed 102 students, starting with the Adults & Teens, and working our way down to the smallest ones.
There was some fantastic judo on display, with great progress being made across the board. There's far too many grades to list everyone by name, but we did have the following stand out achievements:
Sr 2nd Kyu - Martin Steels & Ross Gillam
Sr 3rd Kyu - Gyula Lestyan
Jr 3rd Kyu - Arthur Lewis, Ernest Jardzioch, Jake Kehr, Lindsay Lam, Muhammad Bateev
And reaching the top of the Tigers (up to Y6) by reaching Jr 4th Kyu - Younes Azout

We also awarded the following Awards to our young Class Helpers who are working their way though our Junior Coaching pathway,
Bronze - Thomas Baskerville, Jake Kehr, Muhammad Bateev
Silver - Jacob Jarra
Gold - Arthur Lewis

As always โญhuge thanksโญ to the team of Volunteers who make such a mammoth task possible.
Off mat, we had:
Elinore & Nikki working the admin desk and keeping all the paperwork in order & the coaches in check๐Ÿ˜‰
Liz, Dionne & Jess doing checkin & kitchen, with refreshments for parents, & most importantly ensuring drinks were flowing for the team. ๐Ÿ‘
Bob G who took the photos ๐Ÿ˜
On mat, over the sessions we had the following Coaches, Assistants & Young Helpers:
Kim, John, Martin, Chloe, Steve B, Steve J, Adam, Marcin, Samuel, Freya, Bill, Stratty, Martin S, Richard, Stefan, Jake, Jacob. oh and me ๐Ÿ˜
